A wine with the delicate touch of white peach and Frangipani flowers, this is giving those long evening summer vibes. It speaks of tart pomelo slices, nashi pear and cut pineapple. Punchy acidity and then the lemon buttercream on top of the vanilla slice of your dreams. It’s zesty and full of zing with the subtle notes of spice and elegant flesh of stone fruit to round out a very satisfying drink. This should be your house Chardonnay, it will improve a carbonara or make a jungle curry a mid week high. Drink now or cellar for 2-3 years further.
